Someone should tell Eastwood baseball coach Kevin Leady he deserves a much-needed vacation. Next year’s baseball season is going to be filled with high expectations, and he will have to prepare for that. This year, his team went 26-4, tying a school record for wins, but it came with growing pains. Next spring, he gets nearly his entire team back. Eastwood finished second in the Northern Buckeye Conference at 11-3, but two of Eastwood’s league losses were in back-to-back games where the Eagles were shut out. “We had a really bad week. Welcome to baseball. We didn’t score,” Leady said.

Heading into last week’s play, Woodmore baseball was tied for first place with Lake at 4-1 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. The Wildcats’ prospects were looking good. Then came a 3-2 loss to NBC preseason favorite Otsego, and suddenly the ‘Cats were not on top anymore. But they will stay in the hunt if Woodmore coach Jacob Huss has anything to say about it. On Wednesday at Eastwood, the Eagles scored eight runs in the bottom of the fourth and Ethan Rapp tossed a one-hitter as the Wildcats fell, 11-1, in a five-inning mercy ruled game. Rapp needed just 72 pitches, 38 of them strikes.

In Eastwood’s 5-4 non-league win over Maumee, junior catcher Andrew Arnston belted a two-run homer to the deepest part of the Panthers’ field in the third inning. That proved to be the difference in Eastwood’s third win of the season, coming after the Eagles swept a doubleheader over Tiffin Calvert. Now the Eagles are 10-0 and Arnston is hitting .538 with three home runs, four doubles, 21 RBIs and 16 runs. In the win over future Northern Buckeye Conference foe Maumee, Arnston reached base three times, including on an infield single and an error, scoring twice.

Microsoft is advocating that the US follow Australia’s lead and copy a proposal that would require tech companies to pay newspapers for using their content. It’s also suggested, unsurprisingly, that its very own Bing search engine could be a viable alternative to replace Google in the country. Google is far and away the dominant search engine in Australia. Google has threatened to yank its search engine from down under if the proposal is passed into law, claiming that it would set an “unmanageable precedent,” The Wall Street Journal reports. Facebook has also balked, warning that it would bar Australian users from sharing links to news articles on its platforms. Both Google and Facebook have said they are willing to invest in local publishers as one way to negotiate fair compensation. They also argue that publishers benefit by having links to their content appear in search results and on social media because it sends users directly to their sites. Google s chief legal
